I used PI on all my PDAs because the built-in calendar app was too simple for my tastes. I like my appointments and tasks to have categories and be color coded so I can see things in a better at-a-glance view, and I like having a digital task system built around GTD without much extra fiddling. I find this kind of thing to be a very personal choice--some people never even do well with a software "planner" and others prefer it. You may just need to work with it a while to see if it fits for you. Does the BB version sync with cloud services? I like that the cloud sync is native in iPhone even if it is out of necessity. I had sync to Gcal and RTM set up on my Windows Mobile phone through 3rd party stuff and I knew after that I was hooked on OTA/non-computer reliant sync.

I have yet to be taken in by its awesomeness, but I'm willing to try it for a while as I have great faith in the Diva. I just installed the trial of PI on my BlackBerry Bold.

It's helping me get more out of my Toodledo subscription, and it's so nice to not have to look at a calendar app as well as a task app. All in one, baby!
